Speaker 1: content out for you every single night. Well, it might

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: not be Willis Reid limping back into the game for

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: the Knicks in the NBA Finals, but that's kind of

22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: what we're seeing right now. Gino Smith after getting tackled

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: on a scramble for a first down, came out of

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: the game, went into the medical tent, was checked out,

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: came back out to play, but is limping a little bit.

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: Not quite sure, but he is definitively limping. Okay, we'll

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: see how it goes. The Broncos, proving that hey, we

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: don't want people to think we're as good as they

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: say we are, have turned the ball over with seven

30
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The Raiders have

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: the football inside Bronco territory. Bo Nicks, who has had

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: an absolutely craptastic night, gets picked off on a tip

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: ball that should have been caught, So now the Raiders

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: take over. After the runback, they are on the Bronco

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: side of midfield again. Still time left to go here,

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: but it is a seven Bronco lead over the Raiders

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: and Gino Smith has limped back onto the field to

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: take snaps in the shotgun for the Raiders. He looks

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: so pained the last possession every time, just walking back

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: into the huddle, it's like, all right, I'm you know,

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: watching the longest yard. I was like, all right, I've

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: been beaten, but they're not gonna get me, I'm so good.

43
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 3: Gen Gene, no, gene, no, gene.

44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: No, look how tough I'm Willis Reid. And then at

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: the end of that last possession, it was the long

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: like the camera had to go to break because he

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: wasn't getting off the field fast enough. No he was not.

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: It's s no, no, no, let's just go to commercial. Uh

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: so you moved that, and then Franklin use your hands, man,

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: Yet the ball get in on the body, ricochet, you

51
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: get the interception. H and now you got Gino trying

52
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: to be a hero on the Denver side of the field.

53
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: Here running the ball inside is six minutes to play

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: down three it is. It is a shocking game, to

55
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: say the least. It's close. I wish there were more points.

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: I wish Denver was actually playing better. So I feel

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: like they're embarrassing the NFL with their effort tonight so

58
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: far in a ten to seven game, and bo Nix

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: looks like the guy at Oregon or at Auburn When

60
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: I thought this guy's going to the NFL, I asked

61
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: you that off air last hour. As we're watching, it's like,

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: are we sure this was the guy that everybody's been

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: selling because he's had a couple of good quarters man,

64
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: but overall we're talking about rocky, choppy roads. Look, they're

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: still seven and two, you can't take that away. And

66
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: they've had some fantastic series possessions and opportunities for Knicks

67
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: to shine. This is one that, at least from all metrics,

68
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: should have been a laugher. And in the fourth quarter,

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: all we're doing is deciding how many yards Dobbins and

70
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Harvey get and what they're split is at the end

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: of the game. I know that sometimes Thursday games are weird.

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: We've seen that. You get a Division game, they're weird.

73
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: This game should not be this weird. It should not

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: be it should not be this weird. There's no way

75
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: this game should be this weird. Nine and a half

76
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: points was the points spread for you here, forty three

77
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: the over under No chance we're getting anywhere near that

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: at this point. But you know, Gino Smith has an

79
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to go steal this game and create some chaos.

80
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of chaos, Gino Smith on third and six is rushed.

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: He throws incomplete, running away from pressure, limping off to

82
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: the sideline again favoring his leg. It looks like it's

83
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: gonna be a long field goal for the Raiders to

84
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 1: try to tie this game at ten apiece a gino

85
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: just getting rid of it before getting pushed at the

86
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: forty five yard line. So we're gonna get a long

87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: field goal, hooray, which passes for great offense. It's a

88
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: long field goal attempt to try to tie this game

89
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: at ten. Now, fourth site just got absolutely abused. Now,

90
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: Benito has been great. He's been in the backfield a lot, right,

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: He's had a fantastic season. We're talking a guy who's

92
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: already near double digit sacks on the ear like that

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: was an no show effort. Get out of your damn stance, man,

94
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: like he walked around him. And because it's the Raiders,

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Carlson misses from forty eight yards away a little wide, right.

96
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: So the Broncos hold on to lead this game ten

97
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: to seven, just under five minutes left to go in

98
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Again, we'll have more on this game.

99
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: Because it's an NFL game and it's Thursday night. I

100
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: mean that that's kind of what it is, standalone game.

101
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: It's either that at least these guys showed up kind

102
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: of to play. Eh. As we were talking about the

103
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: Suns and the Clippers earlier. Kind. I mean, Pete Carris

104
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: is even chewing gum? Is it really a game if

105
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: he's not running around chewing a gum and shouting out

106
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: this This is one of those nights where Adam Silver goes.

107
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: We didn't play on Thursday night because of this game.

108
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: We could have played some games tonight, even have to

109
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: have the Knicks play back to back last night. We've

110
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: got some games tonight, you have. But tomorrow's a cup night, right,

111
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna get like weirdly painted courts and everything. Yeah, No,

112
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: no Cup Night tomorrow, the big deal. I've got USC Northwestern.

113
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: We got Cup Night. It's USC Northwestern Cup Night. Oh okay,

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: cup check, cup check. I'm here to sell sell such

115
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: now elsewhere in the NFL. I knew, and we all

116
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: knew this story was gonna come back, not to haunt everyone,

117
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: but to be something we laugh at. It was just

118
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday that Bear's wide receiver roma Dunesay. You started

119
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: out having a great year this year. Uh didn't have

120
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: a great game. Sunday against the Bengals was held without

121
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: a catch, despite the Bear scoring forty seven points in

122
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: the In the game of the Week, right, best game

123
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: of the week on Sunday to win over the Bengals.

124
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: He had three targets in the game, one went off

125
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: his hands in the end zone and not the game

126
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: we are accustomed to. And clearly no one knows this

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: better than Roma Dunesay. Fantasy owners going no points like

128
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: if they check your score too late in the day

129
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: where you're like, oh, did he get hurt early? And no,

130
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: he's He's in the game, they're just not throwing to him.

131
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: It was after the game that Roma Dunesay's dad decided,

132
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: I I'm mad that my kid didn't get more than

133
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: three targets, and he reposted messages on social media that

134
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: asked whether the Bears would train a Doonzay to a

135
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: team that will actually throw to him, and another post

136
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: that declared he should be getting at least ten targets

137
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: per game. Right, So these were things that he retweeted

138
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: or or reposted on social media. Today, Adneesay answered that

139
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: and answered his dad's posts by saying, listen, I don't

140
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: make a big deal out of it. He's got his opinions.

141
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: I have mine. My dad's a big fan of of

142
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: my size, so my dad's a big fan of Roma Dunzay.

143
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: So you're going third person and talking about his dad

144
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: being a fan of himself is pretty special. But he said, listen,

145
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: my dad had his opinions. I have mine. I'm glad

146
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: he supports me. Okay, I'm sure there was a conversation

147
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: with Roma Dunzay telling dad what are you doing? What

148
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: are you doing? Dad? There's a time to pick And

149
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: the thing is is that I understand that you want

150
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: to stand up for your kid and sometimes you can't

151
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: help it. But you stand up for your kid on

152
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: a day when you score ten points and the offense

153
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: is terrible and your son only gets three targets, you

154
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: don't say we need to be throwing him more. When

155
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 1: you're coming off a forty seven point game. You don't

156
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: do that. You don't say, hey, how come my kid,

157
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: because you seem like just the upset, jealous dad going hey,

158
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: everybody else had to go why didn't my kids should

159
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: have scored more? We scored forty seven points. Dude. There's

160
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: a time and a place to say that. But I

161
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: always tell you the same thing. There is no time

162
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: and place for parents or significant others to go public

163
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: about their concerns for their spouses or their family members,

164
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: because it never reflects well on the athlete. It never does.

165
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: There's never been a time where someone in a family,

166
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: whether there's a mom or a dad, or a girlfriend

167
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: or a husband, who decided, Hey, this is going on

168
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I'm sick atte I'm going to weigh

169
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: in on this. There has never been one instance where

170
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: that has helped the athlete. All at do is make

171
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: things harder for the athlete. May just seem like they

172
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: can't find their own they can't fight their own battles.

173
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: They just seem like, hey, everything is not in control

174
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: in your world. Nothing ever makes them look good. I

175
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: don't know how many times we have to see it.

176
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: There's very few tenants in sports where blanketly I can

177
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: say this is a truth in nineteen ninety five, it

178
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: was truth in twenty ten, it's truth now in twenty

179
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: twenty five. But family members and significant others getting involved

180
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: because they're upset about something going on in that athlete's

181
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: career that's never reflected well. Never they never look good.

182
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: This was one of my favorite stories of the week

183
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. Okay, Dunsa didn't catch that

184
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: ball in the end zone. It's behind him, but hits

185
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: him in the hands a ball he should probably corral. Fine.

186
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Three targets, fine, But watching the game, it's like there's

187
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: a million things going on. I was like, curious, you

188
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: go back and you watch it. Well, the Bears did

189
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: it for you. After Doonzay's dad went public, they went

190
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: and found the super cut because he was mike up.

191
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: They went and found the super cut of him hyping

192
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: up his teammates and the myriad like he had six

193
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: or seven key blocks, all his blocks in response was

194
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: one of the greatest responses by a team. Not in

195
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: front of a podium, not in front you know, teammates

196
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: getting in front of a microphone, none of that stuff,

197
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: or Ben Johnson taking up for his guy. No, no, no.

198
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: They just put out the super cut of all of

199
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: those blocks that broke off huge runs from anong guy,

200
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: or got another wide receiver an extra three or four yards,

201
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: or sealed an edge to give Caleb more time to throw.

202
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: All of those things. It was a great two minute

203
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: clip and it's at the end they should have just

204
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: had a guy clap like a Vegas Blackjack dealer. I'm

205
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: done because that was the perfect response to the parent,

206
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: like and and for Rome to have to come out

207
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: and address it today. You know, it's it's the tale

208
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: as old as time, as you said true in ninety eighty,

209
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: go go all as long as sports has been around. Right.

210
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: I was telling you the other day there's a guy

211
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: yelling yeah all day and then the kid got scored on.

212
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: Dad wasn't chirping after that. So you know, you have

213
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: those kind of moments. And for the Bears, the fact

214
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: that it comes off of something really positive. We'll try

215
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: to tear it down. Man there yeah, I mean like

216
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: Place had a huge win time and Place and you

217
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: scored forty seven points right like he was having the

218
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: time of his life. He's like, Dad, look at this.

219
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: What I want to know is that, what do you

220
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: think is gonna happen? Like, I get that you're frustrated.

221
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't get to talk to your kid as

222
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: much about it. If he's a listen, everything is fine, Dad,

223
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: I understand that, but you have to resist when your

224
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: buddies tell you, dude, they got to throw to your

225
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: kid more. Man, I know, I know, I get. What

226
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: do you think you're gonna accomplish by going on social media.

227
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson's gonna go, hey, hey guys, let me look

228
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: at guys. Let's have a meeting here. I understand. Hey,

229
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: so I know. Hey, great great day offense, great day

230
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: running the football. We called a great game. The guys

231
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: are great. But hey, Rome's dad is a little mad.

232
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe we only threw them the ball three times.

233
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't want this to become a thing. Let's make

234
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: sure we throw them the football a bunch more. Lea,

235
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: He says ten targets a game? Can we get him

236
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: ten targets? So his dad, because I really, his dad

237
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: getting upset, like, we don't want that surrounding the team, Like,

238
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: does he think that's what's gonna happen? I really, what

239
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: do you think is the is the end all of this?

240
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: What's the end of this story for you? How do

241
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: you wind up winning in this? What is it? Is

242
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: it a public apology from Ben jont Hey, I'm sorry?

243
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: Is this other teams in free agency? When Roma Dunes

244
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: becomes a free agent, it's well, you know they didn't

245
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: use him, right, Hey, just go back. You got to

246
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: give my son a thirty million dollar contract. Because he's

247
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: that good. Doesn't matter. He didn't catch a lot of passes.

248
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: You look at some of these games here when he

249
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: should have got the targets he didn't get him. I

250
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: got all this, I got all this evidence right here.

251
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: He pulls ab out of a briefcase when he's meeting

252
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: with the team in free agency. Hey, all this, they

253
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: should have got him the ball. More this is he's

254
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: clearly a thirty million dollar your guy, Like, I don't know,

255
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what the outcome is other than to

256
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: make you feel good because you'll feel better about it.

257
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: And I get the whole Sometimes being petty and petulant works,

258
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: and I'm playing sometimes it doesn't. But when you're somebody's dad,

259
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: I think you have to step back and understand, am

260
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: I doing what's right by my kid? Is Is this

261
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: going to help my kid? Instead of Hey, I feel

262
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: good about it? Right that? That's kind of what I

263
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: would look back to. And I'm still surprised at someone

264
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: who understands has lived in the world with their kid,

265
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: has been a great athlete their whole life, one of

266
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: the elite, one of the top one tenth of one

267
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: percent athletes in the world. Uh when it when it

268
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: comes to youth football, and you gotta know, okay, is

269
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: how is this really helping? How he's having a really

270
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: good year now the Bears are winning. What what is

271
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: this going to accomplish? What? What is this going to do?

272
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: He is currently tied for twenty third most targeted in

273
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: the National Football League at over seven and a half

274
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: a game. It's ten ten, he wants ten. Look, Jamar

275
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: Chase is at one hundred and ten eleven points eight

276
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: per game. Well that's gonna swing slinging Joe Flacco with

277
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: a bad defense. Chris Olave coming in at just over nine.

278
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: Wait really, Jackson Smith and Jig is not the top

279
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: of that four a second he was, He's fourth. He

280
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: catches all the past that he's been a fish, right,

281
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: he's got He's got a total of seventy seven targets, uh,

282
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: just over nine and a half per game, but he's

283
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: catching all of them. He died. There's not a lot

284
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: that hit the grounds. It with Smith, he gets it done. Yeah,

Speaker 1: you got Chase, Olave, JSN and Drake London are four

286
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: of your top five. Who's fifth? O, He's third on

287
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: the list. Garrett Wilson, Christian McCaffrey. Oh okay, hey remember

288
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: remember before the season, Well said he'd be used as

289
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: a receiver more than a running back. Okay, just just

290
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: so you know, Mike Harmon, because it's radio, decided to

291
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960

292
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: are the cameras who said that, this is where you

293
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: say you did. Why are you hoisting your cup? Well,

294
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're doing because you're hoisting your

295
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: cup up in the air or on the radio, I

296
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,440

Speaker 1: Did you want I was taking a cue from you?

300
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: Did you want Tyser to come in here and refill

301
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: your cup with something? Actually, you don't know, Darson. I

00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: think Joe bu needs a refill. Okay, uh so yeah,

303
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: I I I really. There's very few tenants in sports.

304
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: That's one of them. You're not going to help your

305
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: kid by saying anything. You're not be fun, be funny,

306
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: say fun stuff, support them. That's great, man, But when

307
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: when you want to come out and say yeah, the

308
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: other is Don'tmber remember what city your kid's playing into.

309
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: You throw this ball more than roma doonsday when we

310
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: score forty seven points, when we give it to a

311
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: running back I didn't even know he was on the

312
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: roster a week ago. That's what we gotta do, because

313
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: the assumption becomes that he's going and he's talking to

314
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: his old man and he's complaining about his role, which

315
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: is everything. I mean, it's completely the opposite and very

316
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: easily improvable. But if stuff gets to fester, then it

317
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: starts to become a problem and an infection exit out

318
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,920

340
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: Raiders is done. No politics. My man Dennick to band football,

341
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: Denver beats the Raiders ten to seven, succeed and proceed.

342
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: It's their first seven game win streak since twenty fifteen.

343
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: You will not see a worse game than we saw

344
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: tonight between the Broncos and the Raiders. I don't know.

345
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: That's thirteen eleven game with the Jets was pretty terrible. Ah,

346
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: that was terrible. Yeah, it's a couple more points that. Yeah,

347
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: it was. That was really bad. It was, yeah, just

348
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Yeah, let's go back to twenty

349
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: fifteen though for a second, if you will, fifteen that

350
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: was Peyton Manning's first year with the Broncos, Right, that

351
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: was Manning's first year. No, that's the second year. Oh okay, okay, Yeah,

352
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: so that was the nine touchdowns, seventeen interception. Yeah, that

353
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: was the Oh yeah, that was that. But he won

354
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Yeah, yeah, when you got leading rusher?

355
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: Uh huh uh that little boy in that seven game

356
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: woul Who would their leading rusher have been? Uh, Jerald

357
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: will Hype. Nicely done. Yeah, it's a good throwback right there.

358
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: Ronnie Hillman, Ronnie Anderson. Yeah, and then we celebrate how

359
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: great Damarius Thomas was. Yeah, one of the one of

360
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: the greats of the last twenty years. Unfortunately gone too soon.

361
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: That Super Bowl was uh was if I remember right?

362
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: The Broncos got a field goal on the first possession

363
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: of the game, and then Peyton Manning could do nothing,

364
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: and then a field goal the first possession after halftime,

365
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: and that was it. Those are the only points the

366
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: offense had in that game. I think, if I'm if

367
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm getting that right? Like that was all?

368
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: Was it? Twenty four to ten? Your final Von Miller

369
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: and all those guys running amuck? Oh that was an

370
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: awful good times. That was an awful game. Fall on

371
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: the ball. No, wait, sometimes we get games like this.

372
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: The Raiders had ten first downs to night. The Broncos

373
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: had ten first downs. Neither one of these teams deserve

374
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: to win. No, the Broncos were five out of fifteen

375
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: on third down. The Raiders were four out of fifteen. Yeah,

376
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty yards of the Broncos one hundred

377
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: and eighty eight yards of the Raiders. We're used to

378
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: teams rolling up four hundred yards of total offense themselves.

379
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: None of this was good unless you had the Raiders

380
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: or the Broncos defense going in fantasy, you really didn't

381
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: get anything tonight. Yeah, but even then, I mean, you

382
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: got the sacks piled up for the Broncos, right me.

383
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: If you played points against if you play defense, you

384
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: were okay. Like, looks look like we didn't nearly the

385
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: turnover margin that we thought like tonight. And it's once

386
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: in a while this happens, is that I happen to

387
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: not have any Raiders or Broncos on my teams that

388
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: I started tonight. Yeah, I got no, right, and so

389
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: I got nothing that I was gonna start tonight, right,

390
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna like I had Jacoby Myers, but he

391
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: got traded, so I'm just nobody else. Not gonna start

392
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: Tray Tuckin, he's a Jaguar. But this is one of

393
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: those games where I go all right for three days. Now,

394
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: I can be excited because I know in my league's

395
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: other I haven't had a chance to look yet, but

396
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: I know in my leagues other owners played players in

397
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: this game and they did not have big nights from

398
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: any of them. Well, here's the thing I'm pretty excited about.

399
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: You're in a PPR league. You got sixty yards and

400
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown on the ground from genty nineteen carries long

401
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: of ten, not done doing particularly well, but found the

402
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: end zone. That's all that matters. Get this though, three

403
00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: yards receiving, but three receptions, Oh those three, I got

404
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: three point three even fall forward, but three got four?

405
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: No three point three because I got I got point

406
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: one for each one of those. That's what I got.

407
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: That's why. But I love that though. I'm like, hey,

408
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: I feel good instead of like on a Thursday night

409
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: where you play against somebody and somebody goes nuts and

410
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: throws like four touchdowns, like you got to stare at

411
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: that like twenty eight point number for them for like

412
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: three days, and you got to see their chance of winning.

413
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: It's like seventy six per chance of winning your fantasy match.

414
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: Me go, I can't keep looking at that every day. Yeah,

415
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's like I like looking at it because hey,

416
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm okay. I didn't have anybody going tonight. I feel good.

417
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: The only other guy that gave you anything was Troy Franklin.

418
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you played Brock Bowers was

419
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: the obvious number one or number two tight end, just

420
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: based on he came back and ran wild a week ago.

421
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: Troy Franklin thirty one yard. Troy Franklin should have that

422
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: minus two for that. You know, that's just no, he should.

423
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean, but this is where it's you know, life

424
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: isn't fair. But bo Nick's one hundred and fifty passing yards,

425
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: one touchdown, two picks. He's been helping you with his legs, right, Nope,

426
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: not today, five carries minus two yards. You didn't even

427
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: get that bonus from him this time. Now, this is

428
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: the big topic coming off tonight, right, But well we'll

429
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: get to the Broncos being one of the worst eight

430
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: and two teams you'll ever see and RJ. Harvey hates

431
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: you buy but h yeah, RJ. Harvey, he lets you down.

432
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: They gave him a couple of red zone touch they did,

433
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: they did, They gave him opportunity. Who didn't let you

434
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: down tonight? I mean, yeah, at least after gent gave you,

435
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: you know, twelve do you expect that from the airing

436
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: of the grievances? I mean, nobody else right let you

437
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: down on Thursday Night Football eight seven, seven ninety. But

438
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: the last six weeks now, and I you know, I

439
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure you know, hey, we'll talk about

440
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: this when it gets to a point where, hey, there's

441
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: enough of a sample size. Is that the last six

442
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: weeks makes me wonder is Bone like like we did

443
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: for Joe Flacco, is bon Nicks really elite or is

444
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: he just pretty good? And the league is caught up

445
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: to him a little bit now after the first month

446
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: or so of the NFL season, right, because the first

447
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: month Bonnicks was really good, right, comes out of the gate,

448
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: you know as a big day against Indianapolis and a loss,

449
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: a nice day against Cincinnati. The last six weeks he's

450
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: been just a guy. He had the big day against Dallas, right,

451
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: and they had the big comeback against the Giants, but

452
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: that's a fourth quarter. First three quarters, they couldn't do anything.

453
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: Dallas's defense is terror. But I'm not gonna say it

454
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: didn't happen. But overall, you're looking at the last six

455
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: weeks where he's not been good. He's been okay, he's

456
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: been just a guy. And six weeks you're talking about

457
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: half the season and all the stuff we have been

458
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: told and to look how great at the end of

459
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: the year he had last year, and Sean Payton spent

460
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: the entire offseason talking about how how much he's the

461
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: guy I wanted. He's so great. Okay, I wasn't buying

462
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: Bonnicks because I wasn't buying him at Oregon for the NFL.

463
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't buying him clearly at Auburn when he was there.

464
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: But okay, all right, Sean Payton, maybe he's got a

465
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: little bit what he needs. He knows his quarterbacks. But boy,

466
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: this sure it looks like so far where hey, they

467
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: got him last year, first four weeks of this year.

468
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: Once they got four weeks on tape, you know what?

469
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: Now we know? And I'm watching bow Knicks play tonight,

470
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: and he's not stepping up in the pocket as much.

471
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: He's he's getting getting run off the line of scrimmage.

472
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: He's not as accurate throwing the football right, like you know,

473
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: he's not up at sixty five sixty sixty eight percent

474
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: completing passes. The last two weeks have been sub sixty percent.

475
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: And he's just not been the same guy. He's not

476
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: been as dynamic, and they've done a lot wide receiver wise.

477
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: Former Courtland Sutton is pretty good, right, Franklin's supposed to

478
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: be really good. They have some young dudes on that

479
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: on that team, and no tight end was expected. The

480
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: joker position Evan Ingram was what was expected when they

481
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: came in. Know that that thing just hasn't worked in

482
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: and out of the lineup. But bow Nick's okay, if

483
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be that next guy. I don't see

484
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: a six week span of yeah, you've just been okay.

485
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: You've had a couple of moments in games, but you

486
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: really have just been okay. And I watch it and

487
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: I go, okay, is Drake hey really this good? Are

488
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: we gonna see him play this well against a really

489
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: good defense? Like his big game is this weekend against

490
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, because I really want to see him play

491
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: a good team and do something nice. But Bo Nicks overall, like, Okay,

492
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: Denver's really good. Denver's the defense is fantastic, and he's

493
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: been more of a game manager over the course of

494
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: the season than he's been. This is a guy that

495
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: we can win games on his right arm. I do

496
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: not see that from Bo Nicks, and I haven't seen

497
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: that in the better part of this year. Now. We've

498
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: talked about it a bunch, just kind of how herky

499
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: jerky the offense is. To put a very clinical term

500
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: on it, is just you have some great spurts and

501
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: a couple of possessions that really go their way. They've

502
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: solved something in the defensive alignment and they go and

503
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: pick at it. We watched that in that crazy ass

504
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: fourth quarter against the Giants. We watched them carve up

505
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. But who doesn't, right, We watched Jacoby Brissett

506
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: do that the other day. To your point, he's completing

507
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: sixty one of his passes because they're winning. We may

508
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: be the only show to actually bring that up, right,

509
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: because it look whatever it takes and he's making plays

510
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: when it matters. Of course, over a sixty minute period.

511
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: If you make plays early, guess what you don't have

512
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: to do chase, not late right to where you've had.

513
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: That game against Houston again, it was one that I

514
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: don't think many people wanted to watch and probably did

515
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: everything they could do avoid. There weren't a lot of

516
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: red zone opportunities, so if you're watching red Zone channel,

517
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: you didn't see it very often. But eighteen fifteen, two

518
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns against a really good Houston d Okay, that was

519
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: a good battle, right, So he showed he had those

520
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: moments where he shows the hey, look how many games

521
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: he started in college that everybody defults back to and

522
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: he stands tall in those points. But there's so many

523
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: other possessions like tonight, Look, Max Crosby was not cloned.

524
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: There was only one of him. You would have thought

525
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: he was seeing ghosts or that there were vapors of

526
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: Max Crosby the way he was bailing out on throws

527
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: and not squaring up to deliver the ball down field.

528
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: Because you could sit here and say, okay, bo Nicks

529
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: had a tough time with a really good Houston defense, right,

530
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: but it completed less than fifty percent of his passes.

531
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: They still won the game. Had a tough time tonight

532
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: with a not great Raiders defense. Okay, so teams are good,

533
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: teams are bad. He's had problems with He had problems

534
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: with a horrible Giants defense for three quarters. Then he

535
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: was really good for one quarter. Their defensive front really

536
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: good though, don't you have to say that? Yeah, okay,

537
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: not quite what it was a couple of years ago.

538
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm doing Carter's really good and yeah, the

539
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: Giants team, it's not quite the you know we're not

540
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: talking about though. It's you know, this is not the

541
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: Savage change, right, I mean this was Hey when when

542
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: when Thibodeau was in as a rookie and coming in No, yeah,

543
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: but that's three quarters of bad playing one quarter of

544
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: good play. Okay, he was really good against Dallas. Who's

545
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: not good against Dallas? You're supposed to be good, agast Dallas?

546
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: All right, wasn't that great against the Jets? And the

547
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: Jets defense is not great? Okay? Ah, the top No,

548
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: the Jets are not of a top five defense. It

549
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: didn't break up a great defense. The Jets defensive metro

550
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: are all in the bottom half of the league. So

551
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: he struggled against good teams, he struggled against bad teams,

552
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: and the anointing of bon Nicks is the next great quarterback?

553
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: All right, you need to see a bit more of

554
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 1: that growth in year two to where if you're really elite,

555
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: you win games once in a while and doesn't have

556
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: to be every week, but you win games because you

557
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: drag your team to victory. And I don't see that.

558
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: And I think, if you're the Broncos, this is what

559
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna see in the offseason, they're gonna go. Okay, boy,

560
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: Bonnick struggled, what do we have to do what most

561
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: teams have to do for all their quarterbacks. We gotta

562
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: go get a big number one receiver. We gotta go

563
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: get a big tight end, we gotta go get a

564
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: big running back, because you know, trying to fill in

565
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: with with Dobbins and Harvey. Are these guys really good

566
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: running backs or are they just guys? Right? Is Courtland

567
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: Sutton really a big superstar or as hey, Courtland Sutton's

568
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good number two. But you know, is Franklin

569
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a great wide receiver? Okay, you draft them

570
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: in the way you talk him up. But I don't

571
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: know that that's gonna be the game. But check Payton's

572
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: a good seller of he is a good self. But

573
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: but remember he had Drew Brees for a long time.

574
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: He had Michael Thomas for a long time. When Thomas

575
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: was a great what was a great America? I mean

576
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: like he had guys that took care of business. Then

577
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: we're talking Hall of Fame candidacy. And he had a

578
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: great system and and and that. And that's to Sean

579
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: Payton's extent. Anybody who put in a quarterback which was

580
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: succeeded for the for the Saints, no matter what. But

581
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna get to the end of the season,

582
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, man, we gotta go out and get

583
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: play makers for Bone. And this has gone from bow

584
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: Nicks is going to carry us to we gotta go

585
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: out and get play makers for Bone. Yet two thousand

586
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: passing yards to this point, seventeen touchdowns against six picks.

587
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Big games, the three big games that take up a

588
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: good chunk of his stats, that fantastic game early in

589
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: the season, the loss to the Colts, and then games

590
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: against the Bengals and Cowboys. What's the problem with those defenses, Jason,

591
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: they stink nicely done, So you've got that. I think

592
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: it's only appropriate that the graphic was about the twenty

593
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: fifteen Broncos that we highlighted all those people there because

594
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna be laying. They're only going as far as

595
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: this defense is carrying them. That's really the end game

596
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: what this looks. And that's the thing. The defense is

597
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: really good, right, The defense is fantastic. It's probably the

598
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: best defense in the NFL right now. Now the Rams

599
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: defense is coming on, they're playing really wead the Texans

600
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: defense is going to show at some point, not tonight,

601
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But but no matter where they are,

602
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: they're always gonna be from the top defense. They'll be

603
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: one of the top three defense in the league. That's

604
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna that's gonna take you really, really far. It will

605
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: take you far in the playoffs. But is it gonna

606
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: take you all the way? Right? It's it's you know,

607
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 1: like like Rob Low said in in uh In in

608
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: uh Wayne's World, can get you all the way almost

609
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: to the top. But they what I've seen from the

610
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: Broncos is they're eight and two, but they're a limited team. Yes,

611
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: they can win any kind of game. But it's any

612
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: kind of game against a team that's got a bad defense,

613
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: right Like, they can't clearly score tons of points against

614
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: a team that has a good defense, or or they're

615
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: not consistent with it. They're they're that machine like eight

616
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: and two teams. They're who the Steelers think they are. Hey,

617
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: we're not great at anything we do, but look we

618
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: win games. The Broncs say, listen, we're not great at

619
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: anything we do. We play great defense and offensively, we

620
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: play complimentary football that will get you far. It's not

621
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: going to get you to the super Bowl. And I

622
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: say this as a team I picked to go to

623
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: the AFC Title game before the season. They're the best

624
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: record of the AFC right now. I said this about

625
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Want to say Chargers Broncos AFC Title Game,

626
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: Chargers Broncos. Try. I feel great about the Broncos right now.

627
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: Look where they are, top of the league, and I'm

628
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: telling you how many problems they have right now. So

629
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: it tells you what I the truth about the Broncos

630
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: that I'm not just sitting here saying. You know, I

631
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: hate to remind you, but I did have the Broncos

632
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: in the AFC title game. No, I'm telling you the

633
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: truth about where there are is a team you want

634
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: to have a good laugh. They are point three points

635
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: behind two teams in the AFC in terms of points

636
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: per game. We'll taking guests to do there the Colts. No,

637
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: they're not far in the far behind the Colts. Oh

638
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: point oh oh, I show we're looking at fourteenth overall

639
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,239
Speaker 1: the Jets. Jets had a couple of games a lot

640
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: of points. That's why I fought they had a thirty. Well,

641
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: they had a thirty two point game and then they

642
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: had a thirty that we had two big thirty points.

643
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: They're averaging twenty one point game. Yeah that who would

644
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: they be? Roncos are averaging twenty five a game? Fourteenth

645
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: would they be about? I'm gonna say the Jaguars and

646
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: the Browns. They're just behind the Steelers. Oh the Steelers.

647
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, tough man. It ain't pretty, but they get there.

648
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: But bone again is bone nix l It's the new

649
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: Joe sixty one point Hey, no, Joe Flack. Maybe not

650
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: who he is, but Joel but that was always ball around.

651
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the that's gonna be the bonus question.

652
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: For is bone Nicks elite. We asked that for Joe

653
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 1: Flacco for years he won a Super Bowl. Other we

654
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: keep asking. I told you its bon Nicks is bone

655
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: Nick's elite. Every place I went to in Baltimore when

656
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: I visited two weeks ago, there was a picture of

657
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco somewhere in that restaurant or bar at swallowed Do, Matt,

658
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: how about a fresco chime in with your bow Nick's

659
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: memories are or where you think he is in the

660
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: pantheonic core at back quarterbacks time not to fund at

661
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: what's trending in the wide world of works. So someone

662
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: who has a bow Nicks fath head up in her room,

663
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: it's brimua. What he got for is Bree. I definitely don't,

664
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 1: don't you Now.

665
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,400

00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 4: with like the Saints visor, especially the black one with

667
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 4: like the gold logo.

668
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: That's what I do have.

669
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 4: And I pray to it every night, and I say

670
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,920

671
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: Single you like candles at the bottom, and every day

672
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: I do, and.

673
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 4: I pray for his return back to when we actually

674
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 4: were a respectable organization.

675
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: Well, I want to say, I want to say four words.

676
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: Good luck with that anyway. He counted them off on

677
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: his hand. By the way, I want to make sure

678
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: I had four. Might be sure I had four. I

679
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: didn't want to say three words and make it four

680
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: or four words and make it five. You know, I

681
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: speak for a living.

682
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yes, I can tell anyways. Okay, guys, Yeah,

683
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 4: So the Broncos beat the Raiders ten to seven. Of

684
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 4: the Broncos have the best record in the league at

685
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 4: eight and two, it really did not look like that.

686
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 4: It was just like it was like the most boring

687
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 4: game of the season. Honestly, if we really look back

688
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 4: on that, only one NBA game that went on. The

689
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 4: Suns dominated the Clippers one fifteen one two. Jalen Green

690
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 4: had twenty nine points in his Phoenix Sun's debut, which

691
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 4: is like very exciting, and Devin Booker added twenty four.

692
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 4: In hockey, the Penguins beat the Capitals five to three.

693
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 4: Sidney Crosby two goals in that game, and just to

694
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 4: finish off news in the NFL, Sauce Gardner cleared the

695
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 4: leagu's concussion protocol and he's expected to play in Week

696
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 4: ten against Falcons to make his Colt's debut, brock Perty

697
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 4: is getting closer to his return. According to head coach

698
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan, they'll make a decision on Friday whether or

699
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 4: not he'll suit up Sunday versus the Rams.

700
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: Back to you, guys, thanks for robrey 's on the Suns.

Speaker 1: I know you're very happy.

702
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: It's the biggest win of the season so far.

703
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: For sure.

704
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,000

Speaker 1: friend Mike Carmen. Thursday Night football goes to the Broncos

724
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: ten to seven. I know you're looking at her phone

725
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 1: right now, ready to go? No halftime, right, No, game's

726
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: over ten to seven. That was your final. Should have

727
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: just played with a running qua and seven? They did.

728
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that they did. They

729
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: didn't tell you that.

730
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

731
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: Now, the Broncos improved eight and two, right, we talked

732
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: about how bad this game was. The Broncos defense was

733
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: terrific tonight, the offense not so much. And again we're

734
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna have a ten year conversation. Is bo Nick's elite?

735
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: Just like we did? Is Joe Flacco elite? Bo Nick?

736
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco? Congratulations. But we're at the midway point of

737
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: the season, right, and to hold up here, because here

738
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: are the Broncos at eight and two, best record in

739
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: the AFC. Usually, by now in the NFL, when you

740
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: get to the midway point of the year, there's two

741
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: or three teams that generally have the consensus opinion that

742
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: they're the teams in the NFL. They don't have any problems,

743
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: they're terrific. Any given Sunday on a neutral field, they

744
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: will beat whoever you put up against them. Right, generally,

745
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: there's two or three teams that way that you feel

746
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: that way about. This is kind of an outlier of

747
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: a season because right now there is nobody who was

748
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: a contender, a top contender that you can say they're

749
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL, because I could very

750
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: easily give you arguments to the opposite about every team

751
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: we think is great. Are the Rams great? Eh? The

752
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: Rams aren't dominating teams. They still show you, hey, we

753
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: can lay an egg and lose to a team that

754
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be losing too. Right, Yes, we're a couple

755
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: of special teams plays away from maybe being undefeated. You

756
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: also would have had another loss of the Colts of

757
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: ad Ni Mitchell held onto the football. Right. The Eagles, Yeah,

758
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: you think the Eagles are really good, but they got problems.

759
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: They got problem offensively, they got issues with trying to

760
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: get the ball up and down the field. Saquon Barkley,

761
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: he's not been great Tampa Bay. Okay, maybe Tampa Bay

762
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: is great. Now, last couple weeks, Tampa Bay's not been good.

763
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: The Bills have lost games they shouldn't be losing. The

764
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: Patriots have played absolutely nobody. You're never gonna convince me

765
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: that they're any good. Oh, the Chiefs are great. No,

766
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are one game over five hundred. The Chiefs

767
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: have problems. The Steelers have all kinds of problems. Nobody

768
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: is at the point where I can say, hey, right now,

769
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: against twenty nine or thirty other teams in the NFL,

770
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: they'll win. The only toss up is if they play

771
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: one of the other two teams. That's really really terrific.

772
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: Right now, nobody is really terrific. All we have right

773
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: now is potential for being terrific, which we'll get into

774
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: the next hour. But right now, I can't tell you.

775
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: I can't consit here and say and give you an

776
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: argument that, yeah, this team they are better. They are

777
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: better than everybody else. They're on the top two teams.

778
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: They can beat almost anybody in any kind of game.

779
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: There is no team that exists like that in the NFL.

780
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: That's an outlier. Usually we don't get parody like that,

781
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: but both college football and the NFL this year we

782
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: have that well it's Ohio State really really good. Yeah,

783
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State's good, but I don't know how

784
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: many great teams they've beaten. I don't know if Julian

785
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: Saym's really that great Heisman Trophy guy who is Ohio State.

786
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: So you can say that again, it's a crazy year

787
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: in college football and it's one of those years in

788
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: the NFL too. Yeah. For the NFL, I mean this

789
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: sets up a great second half of the year, right

790
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: because you still have a lot of teams. We were

791
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: talking a lot about the you know, the idea of hope, change,

792
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: possibility and everything earlier in the week, and certainly as

793
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: you get your Mets gear back out, you're wishing, wanting,

794
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: hoping that you get a schoobl under the tree. But

795
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: you're looking at the NFL and for Roger Goodell sits

796
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: and fans across the country and globe, you're going, all right,

797
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: we still have a chance. All right. You got the

798
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: Colts that are at plus one oh nine for their

799
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: point differential. Next up Seattle Seahawks at plus eighty one. No,

800
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: are you trusted like you got the Sam darnold the question. No, right,

801
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: and we can do this for every team where you

802
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: check up. All right, Green Bay at times looks special,

803
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: at other times they look like a bunch of jags.

804
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, so not consistent at all. So go

805
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: on down the line. The Bears great. There there are moments.

806
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: There are moments where you're still wanting to throw your

807
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: coffee mug through the TV as you watch the offensive

808
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: set and go to work. So I think that sets

809
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: up really nicely for us. If you look at the

810
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: betting odds as they sit today, the Chiefs are the

811
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: favorite at plus five fifty, followed directly by the Bills

812
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: and plus six hundred blindly following the Chiefs because oh,

813
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: they got their weapons. Now they're going to absolutely put it. Okay, Okay, well,

814
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of it goes to and we'll

815
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: talk about it in earnest next hour. But it's the

816
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: all right, I trust that in a a group of

817
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: stuff that Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have shown that

818
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: they can crawl through the mere and come out the

819
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: other side. Hence their betting dollars roll through. There were talking.

820
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: We're trying to ernest to the next hour Ernest Jackson,

821
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 1: Ernest Biner. Yeah, Ernest goes to jail. Hey, Vern, come on,

822
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: Jim Varney classic. You can do a Jim Varney impression

823
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: for a full hour. Ernest Gibbons talking to Ernest Givens.

824
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: Next hour, how about Ernest Thomas. I'm running at Ernest Thomas.

825
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 2: Good.

826
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, we can just run what's happening line? Okay?

827
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: Taking into the street. Which two b u be Lions Philly?

828
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: The next two? Followed by the Rams, Packers, Colts, Seahawks,

829
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: and then these Broncos at sixteen to one. Exit out

830
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: about a Fresca exit swollen dome coming up next. Since

831
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: we're at the midway point of the NFL season, we

832
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: look back at a Big Bowl prediction we made before

833
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: Week one? Were we right? Fox
